As the world meets the growing demand of feeding populations of all countries, revolutionary company AeroFarms breaks ground on an awesome project tackling this challenge:

Urban agriculture company AeroFarms began construction this week on what will soon become the world’s largest vertical indoor farm, a version of urban agriculture that grows plants upwards through erect plant beds rather than horizontally. The first development phase will be finished by the end of 2015, converting an old steel factory in Ironbound, one of the more blighted industrial sections of Newark, into a 69,000 square foot unprecedented agriculture center and global headquarters for the company. The project received more than $30 million in funding through private and public partnerships and will create 78 jobs in the area, where unemployment is twice the national average.
